Benjamin Harrison ana William Harri-
son, two manly looking Cataw ba Indians,
We're in Columbia W ednesday in the in
terest Of their tribe. They paid visit to
GOV. Richardson and Secretary OF state
LeItner. To a representative of the bu.
'reau they stated that Tom Morrison, the
chief of the tribe, had sent them there to
look after their interests, and that they
were invested with the power to act ac-
cordlng 10 their judgment. The indians
said that South Carolina had originally
decided them IA 900 acres OF land in York
and Lancaster counties, but that this had
been cut down and taken from taem from
time to time until they now had less than
800 acres, and they had gone

Around SDartanburg two years ago
there was quite an interest manifested in
tobacco planting, and some farmers
hoped that this crop would prove a great
blessing to them. After one years trial
the experiment was dropped suddenly,
and last spring very little tobacco was
planted. This year there Will be less.
The change from cotton to tobacco is
jumping out OF the trying-pan into the
nre. The man who plants either crop
extensively must have his c0rn-crib ana
smoke-house in the West, and that VIII
ruin anyone who sticks to it long. The
Hon. Thomas d. Johnson, of Asheville,
saws that tobacco planting was
mpOverlshing the farmers OF
BuncOmbe aud adjoining c0un-
ties. In former years they had corn and
bacon and stock for sale, now they buy
all these things from abroad and depend
on the tobacco to supply the money. The
conclusion of the whole matter is that
district adapted TO raising the ordinary
supplies for man and beast should have
varied productions, and the man is I'M
wise who depends entirely on one. A
correspondent talked with several OF the
enterprising farmers of the county, and
the general opinion IS that they all have
TO 20 back and take new start, raising
corn, wheat, oats, sorghum, stock, of all
sorts. and everything needed for the table
that can be raised in the county. Cotton
should be made the surplus crop. First.
an abundance of supplies; second, more
supplies; third, cotton.
